Glaucoma and daily activities: A study of vision-related tasks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how glaucoma affects daily activities, like driving. It compares people with glaucoma to healthy volunteers to understand how the disease impacts everyday tasks, which may help with future care and safety recommendations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- If you have glaucoma, it must be stable and you need to have vision of at least 6/10 (with both eyes together).
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you need vision of at least 10/10 (with both eyes together).
- You must score at least 25 out of 30 on a short memory test (or 16 out of 25 if you no longer drive).
- You must be able to move around and not have other eye diseases or conditions that could affect the study.
- You must have health insurance (Social Security coverage).

This study aims to improve early detection of glaucoma by testing a new behavioural test that may catch the disease sooner. Participants with early-stage glaucoma or healthy vision will perform visual tasks to see how well the test works.
This study looks at different ways to measure how glaucoma affects your vision over time by comparing visual field results. It may help researchers find better models to track progression so treatment decisions can be made more accurately.
This study looks at whether how far and how much you move around each day is linked to glaucoma and vision field loss in older adults. It may help researchers understand what affects vision changes over time.
This study tests new ways to diagnose glaucoma (and sometimes related eye conditions) using eye exams and measurements. It may help improve how doctors detect glaucoma earlier and more accurately.
This study looks at how people with severe nearsightedness (high myopia) and specific changes in the back of the eye manage everyday tasks like reading and driving. You'll answer questionnaires and may use a driving simulator to help doctors understand what you need.
This study tracks changes in blood flow, structure, and vision over time in people with glaucoma or high eye pressure. It aims to understand how these conditions progress, which could help improve future treatment.
